Jewelry M.S. Rau | Men’S Cabochon Star Sapphire Ring

A Brilliant Star Shines Brightly At The Center Of This Retro 10.00-Carat Cabochon Star Sapphire Ring. The Rare Blue Gemstone Is Among The Most Unique Of The Colored Gemstones Thanks To Its Trademark Six-Pointed Star. This Special Feature Is The Result Of An Optical Phenomenon Known As Asterism. Perfectly Aligned, Microscopic Needle-Like Mineral Inclusions Are Found In The Stone, And It Is These That Cause The Appearance Of A Star When Viewed Under A Single, Concentrated Light Source. The Most Desirable Star Sapphires Boast A High Dome Such As This Example, Which Amplifies The Asterism And Size Of Its Star. The Central Jewel Is Flanked By Two Baguette Diamonds Totaling 0.20 Carat.
